Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?

yes jesus believes that lowly people are valuable Human beings value things. People admire and invest their lives in building great structures. Men race to acquire money, gold and silver, jewels, fame, prestige and success. These are the things that are considered to be valuable in our life. But in God’s eyes there is only one thing that He values and that is people - you!
we are the object of His heart’s desire. we are the apple of His eye. He created us in His image. we are the reason this planet exists. we did not evolve out of slime at random. we were planned and we were designed on the drawing board of God’s love.yes, Jesus does value the lowly people. Jesus didn't turn away the children, the poor, the paralyzed, the leper, the cripple, the tax collector, the prostitute.All the wealth of this world, all the treasures of the centuries have no meaning or worth to God - only us. we are the treasure, the great wealth He is seeking for.Nothing means more to Him than you. The beggarly elements of pride, self-will and sin continually seek to rob you of your inheritance with God. Let them go. Drop them as worthless rocks, abandon them as dung. Run into the arms of the One who treasures you. His love will never let you go. God says You are valuable to Me, saith the Lord,
The same way that a newborn child is
Valued and cherished by a loving parent.
You have done nothing to earn this affection
As you lie helpless and wailing before Me,
Crying for your own need, unable to respond to Me at this moment
With the love I desire. You are like a child - My child, Cherished and valuable. I gave My life for thee, My little one. Now you live.I have birthed you in pain and sacrifice To make you My own By your faith in what I have done for you on Calvary. My little one, Now open your newborn eyes and see how Valuable You are to Me.God allows trials because He loves us so much that He wants us to reach out and get nearer to Him by all this we are blessed to know Him more and let us realize that He's the only one whom we can turn to when everything is againts us. So be thankful for the trials we have or we had coz it opens a deeper relationship to our Lord. Hope that realization remains in our heart even in times of Happiness. but according to the bible I believe that to Jesus all people is valuable whether lowly or not cause in His word He were calling on all to come to Him and to drink of living water so that we can have everlasting life. For Jesus did not discriminate against any person as we humans do and that is so wrong and not like Jesus. If we believe that we are like jesus then we should let it show and not discriminate and accept everybody around us as we never know when Jesus will be amongst those you discriminate against! Respect and accept people with all their flaws like Jesus took you when you were nothing to other people as we were since birth known to him and did value our being alive more that we do ourselves. to futher more Jesus believe that the lowly people are valuable.HE welcome everybody especially the less fortunate, sinners & children.HE has given them ample time showing them love & care.

Define "Compassion"?

Compassion - an empathetic awareness of others' distress combined with the desire to support the pursuance of a new equilibrium. Compassion does not attempt to solve an individual's problem, but reaches for a new state based on the learning experience provided by the previous state. Christ I believe did not show compassion by proving His abilities, rather He showed compassion by allowing others to realise that He suffered their pain with them and that God was indeed aware of the situation and able to do beyond all that anyone could think or do. In doing so He taught us to take all our challenges to Him and He would assist us in developing new strategies based on the learning experiences inherent in each challenge. The raising of Lazarus was not to appease his sisters, but to show what God was capable of doing in any situation. Trust Him in all things and all things will become apparent through patience and perseverance.

Brief Summary of Jesus

He was God perfect and man perfect. He set an example for all of us to follow. Only through striving to follow His will can we become who we are truly meant to be. Through our lives we are united in Him as His church and through the inworking of the Holy Spirit we become aware of our role. By opening ourselves to Him through regular reading of His word and through constant prayer we are guided to wholesomeness in our endeavors to follow Him as babes. Let us unite with the knowledge that our reward is waiting for us if we remain true to His commandments. Love the lord with all your heart, mind and sole and love your neighbor as yourself. Spread the word and live in harmony with the word. God bless.
