Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable?How valuable?
Yes Jesus believes lowly people are valuable, I believe that God does not have favourites. The Bible says the He is no respector of persons meaning that in the eyes of God we are all treated alike. God is not interested in what we have or how much we have He is interested in us as individuals.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Jesus strongly believes the lowly are valuable as apparently seen in the given passages.He befriended people in all walks of life. He let people approach Him regardless of their status including the children and even exclaimed that they are considered as the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. He emphasized that the humble ''becoming the last and the servant of all'' will be exalted. A clear evidence of this is seen during His sermon in the Mount ''the Beatitudes''.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
YES- Beacuse we were all created in His image and the likeness of God, and also Jesus strongly believe that Lowly peaple are valuable because he searches the hearts not on the outside but inside. Jesus also tell that if we have lilittle we need to share with poor people because we will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay us, for we will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous. He quaoted in book of Luke 14:1, 12-14. We are all equal in the eyes of God.

When he was born , he was born to redeem us the sinners, when he died on the cross he died for the sinners, in his time of ministry he was always their for the poor not the rich .he was always a poor man . so i believe jesus believes in lowly people.

Yes, According to Jesus lowly people are very valuable in spirit - when they give they don`t expect to receive. He said in His word He`s coming for the ;lowly, the poor and not for the rich.

the are very valuable because when when they give their all as the poor widow woman.in her povarty the gave. she was not thinking of what is she going to eat or how is she going to get her next meal. she did not only give two copper coins but she gave all her worries or her problems to the Lord. the poor have nothing so they relay on God for every thing. when the have somthing to eat they praise God, when they have nothing to eat they cry an to God. when they are sick they pray when they are well and all is good they glorify God. the poor know that whith God nothing is inpossible.

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)
