Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
He has a sense of love that I can only pray to be like one day. I know that right now, I am no where near where I need to be, in regards to loving others. But because of His unquenchable compassion, He calls me to love others as well. I think the best thing that can show how much everyone is cherished is expressed in Psalm 139. It talks about how we are treasured before we are even born. This is truly an encouraging thought, Jesus, the LORD of the universe and with everything He has to do around the globe, wants us to know Him personally. That is so awesome. Praise God.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
He said: You will always have the poor with you. He, being God, chose to be born, and to live in poorness. In our actual world there are poor people, there are rich people. You can not deny our world injustice: Too few people are tremendously rich and too may people are extremely poor. Jesus chose the poor. He even said: Woe to you rich people, for you can not serve two masters, you can not love God and the money both at the same time. So I truly believe that Jesus showed us how we should live, that we should choose to live well, and not to choose being slaves of money. I know many people who strive for money so hard, that they forget to love, and do not mind even for his ''her'' family. Thus, the family in our society is disrupted and in chaos. Our dear Lord showed us to live in family, being family more important than anything in this world. On the other side, there are poor people, and we following Jesus example must have charity and help them for our reward will be great in heaven. Since we believe that Jesus resurrected, then we must believe in heaven and eternal life.

God sees everybody in the same light, so no one can enter heaven by doing works for Him, they can only enter by faith and that does not meen that we can sin.But only that we must with ouer hart love ouer nabours as ouer selves''not ritch or poor well or sieck''. Ouer nabours. God loves everyone the same way.

Why is it that some churches these days preach only wealth and prosperity, since it negatively impacts on faith? They even discourage the offering of coins?

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
The message of Jesus was clear the He valued everyone, taxcolectors, children, sinners, pharisees, widows, the rich or the poor. There was a problem among those self righteous pharisees and saducees who overlooked everyone else. Jesus knew their hypocrisy, because they boasted and yet did not give to God all they had. The lowly on the other hand were marginalised , despised and isolated, but the kingdom of God was as surely as theirs too. They too were precious children of God.

God`s manifestation of his power and love towards the lowly and poor people occured even before.Abel was murdered by his brother, and God opposed and cursed Cain the murderer, The israelites were freed from slave under the king of egypt, By God.Our lesson today reflects the love of God towards people who can not defend thier self.but to put thier trust and hope only to the savior.YES!!! they are, they are worth dying for.

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)
