Jesus emphasizes that sin is less about individual weaknesses and more about the refusal to take action and show love. This perspective underscores that the real moral failing occurs when individuals choose not to engage or help those in need, as exemplified by the priest and the Levite in the Good Samaritan story. Their decision not to bother, despite having the ability to assist, highlights a deeper moral failure. The anger expressed toward those who fail to act, especially in the context of significant events like the aftermath of Orlando, reflects a belief that inaction and indifference constitute a sinful lack of compassion and care.
