I see coincidence of opinions along the following about Ned and the lecture of his character that could be relatable to actual Christianity (a note however, is that I don't think Ned is dumping on the poor but on the lazy)

What I see is that judgment isn't deceived as it's asked instead to be directed towards Christ, that being, to be pointed outside the Self. That last is what usually characterizes Ned's persona, his current self is judgmental, smart and with a sense of duty that he knows is destructive if it gets out of control; with Christianity Ned can practice the "letting-go" of the Self, however that doesn't imply his actual self ceases to "be-there"
