God has given the freedom to think and act for all living beings in the universe. It is true that our essence of life is a tiny little spark of the supreme creator. To answer the above question, one must first understand how human beings performs different actions. Man has five senses. Our eyes can see only light which ranges in between 380-740 nanometer in wavelength. Our ears can hear sounds only within the limit of 20-20KHz. Our nose cannot detect more than 1 trillion odors. Our skin cannot detect objects beyond 50mm without touching it. That means from this infinite universe, only a limited knowledge is entering our body through our senses. Human beings thus performs actions based on this incoming limited knowledge through the senses and also based on the interest that is present within a person. Since our ignorance is boundless with respect to our limited knowledge, it is very common for human beings to make error. This means it is our ignorance that is root cause of our bad actions. Jesus christ understood this reality well and just because of this, he was ready to forgive to those who tried to hurt him physically.
However since the spark of supreme creator is present within us, we can correct our mistakes by acquiring more wisdom. If a gem is covered in dust, it cannot shine. Similarly if we think that the knowldge that comes through our senses is the only reality and if there is nothing else beyond our relative reality, such people can only value the pleasures of our body. They cannot understand that the spark of life within us is separate from the experiences of our body.
That is why Jesus Christ compared the kingdom of heaven ( the part of sovereign within us) to the treasure buried in the field and also to the disappearence of the gem of the old women.
