Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Jesus loves everyone the same. He's always ready to help us all. There's no one in this world unloved because Jesus is there always for us. Give him a chance and ask for him and you will feel his peaceful presence with you.

Why is it that sometimes we question if someone is deserving before we serve them? Does it really matter what we think? Shouldn't we let God guide us into serving with a pure heart?

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
In some way aren't we all lowly? Whether it is ravaged by a disease, financially oppressed, and/or spiritually depressed or lacking we all fall short of being worthy. Like scripture says from the east to the west. We are all invited to have a relationship with Him and receive Him as Lord and Savior.

He, Jesus, is simply Living within "God's economy" so to speak. We by nature build not only our own but others worth on what they have or haven't done and where or who that person of high or low degree fits. Though all have fallen short of the glory of God, He doesn't rest there, but by His grace and love for us shows us Himself, available to all. God has understood that we don't know what love truly is until we look to at Him as THE example. I believe on of the strongest ways He moves is by His kindness. "It's your kindness that leads us to repentance". When we are intimately moved by this truth, we become pliable for us "to be the hands and fee"t of Christ.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
It is really true that JESUS believe that lowly people are valuable in the sense that they are also the creature of GOD. God created each us by his own image whether one is young, poor, rich,sinner but he/she is valuable to him. So JESUS does not want us to discriminate those who we believe are sinners or those who are lower than us just as how the Pharisees imagined other people as sinners and not valuable. Jesus showed that we are equal and valuable to GOD through his association with anybody else regardless of appearance or how rich or poor one is. This is why he could invite the poor, young and those who were famous of bad acts who most of the time are regarded as lowly people or not valuable. All in all, we are all valuable to God as JESUS want us to be be a sinner, poor, young or rich.

Yes, jesus believe that lowly people are also valuable in the kingdom of God. To see that jesus is caring about the lowly people we can see from the Bible. Like smarian women jesus was asking water, the tax gatherer, crippled,lame,blind etc we can get from the bible that jesus was healing them,and talking with them and sharing the good news with them. Actually jesus came to this earth to save the sinner and lowly people. He sacrificed his life for us, that much valuable.

Now all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him. And both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." ( Luke 15:1-2)

Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ( Matthew 19:13-14)

He called the twelve and said to them, "If any one wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." And taking a child , He stood him in the midst of them; and taking him in His arms, He said to them, "Whoever receives one child like this in My name is receiving Me; and whoever receives Me is not receiving Me, but Him who sent Me." ( Mark 9:35-37)

And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the multitude were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on." ( Mark 12:41-44)

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman therefore said to Him, ‘How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) ( John 4:7-9)

And it came about when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him closely…And he went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment come to you. But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." ( Luke :-1-:1)
