Not only does Jesus believe lowly people are very valuable but most importantly, he demonstrated great love towards them and uplift their characters to be equal to the qualities of himself as a heavenly son.   Jesus praise the lowly for what they are and who they are.   Lowly are not necessarily poor people but also could generally mean our brothers and sisters who are still not born again in Christ.

I just read a story recently of a born again gang member whom after he was converted, he kept hanging out with his old friends.   The pastor of the church he attends raised the concern that he should hang out more with the church groups and not his former gang mates.   His reply was that his old friends are those who are still need to be saved and not the already saved in the church groups.

This story also demonstrated the life and character of Jesus Christ when he treats lowly people with value and love.

I totally and wholeheartedly know that Jesus believe lowly people are valuable that is why he left his Heavenly throne and came to earth and died a painful death for our sins.
