Yes, Jesus believes lowly people are valuable. Jesus is kind, understanding, forgiving and he wishes for the welfare of all human being. That's why he died for us, so that we can be saved from our sins through his blood. And He believes that lowly people are valuable, as that's one of the reason of his existence. He has come for the poor, for those who are in need so that He can relieve them from their pain. And as it is so well said... the last ones shall be the first...

Compassion is all about witnessing the suffering of others, be moved by it and wanting to help in some way... Jesus felt compassion for others when he sees how their sufferings, and alleviate their pain by healing them..
