Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
yes just like in the parable of the lost sheep matthew 18:12-14 there is more rejoiceing over one lowly person saved than over 99 who did not stray. God does not abandon His followers, but zealously seeks the lost

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
First to Jesus everyone belongs to God. What Jesus endeavoured to show, according to me is that though the society segments us in different aspects after all we are all the same. And this augments the fact that Jesus really believed that the people we brand lowly are actually very valuable. We derive also a very important that judgement only belongs to God. We should not judge by their class, we never know what lies in them and neither do we how we can significantly change there lifes. Jesus knew this to well. Image a morale-booster he was to the tax gatherers and sinners, for them to know after all someone accepts them. What a lesson was it for the disciples to learn that the innocence is heavenly. The lesson of being a servant first tells all. I think the cliche you have to serve before you can lead stems from this. I would believe the more lowly you get sometimes the better for your learning. You simply cant learn when you are the top. The poor woman who so little Jesus says she give the biggest. Why is that?? the lowly are more valuable because they give with their hearts and not in a showcase tell-it-to-all of the society`s top. What a relieve was it for the Samaritan woman to learn she can be appreciated even by a Jew. I tend to think there existed the kind of animosity we see between the Arab world and Israel.Imagine a people from two nations shaking hands freely. What a scenario? And that what exactly Jesus wanted to show. I wish we could genuinely draw lessons from His exploits today.

Of Course!!! Jesus loves us very much! Jesus died for us, for everybody in this world. God`s words in Isaiah 43 : 4a = ...you are Precious to Me and because I love you and give you honor. So, Jesus believe lowly people are valuable!!!

value of the poor and lowly
Jesus loved the poor and lowly. He had compassion for them. He knows that they have no one else to turn to but God. The lowly and poor are valuable to to others. They are here to teach us to be humble. Humility is one of the characteristics that we all need to get to heaven.

Yeah, Jesus believes lowly people are valuable.Considering all the passages qouted here, Jesus shows how He values people who have sincere humility and He has found true faith from these believers. They are not hypocrites who pretend they have given much for jesus but actually they haven`t. Jesus values the humble by looking through their hearts and motives of their actions. God is indeed merciful to people who sinned and have asked God`s grace and forgiveness faithfully.

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)
