Jesus, Poors` Friend
Jesus said that He came not for the righterous but for sinners. By these texts, we see clearly that, His coming it for poor people who are sinners, ignorant people and people who has not recognized Jesus. He wants to save all this people. Before be saved, Jesus taught us to be born again; to be like child. He wants us to come to Him without intelligence but with faith. We must run after Him and after the Kingdom and the righterous of God, not after wealth.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Of course, Jesus does He believes that lowly people are valuable. He said that He came for sinners, not for the righterous. He learned that His parents''Joseph and Mary'' according to their profession -Joseph was carpenter- belonged to midle class of their society. Many times Jesus taught us to be humble, to not run after the goods of this earth. He wants us to be born again. The wealth of this earth couldn`t help us to win the kingdom of God. Wealthy always things about his goods and has no more time to thing about God. He has no faith. But poor people puts all his faith into God.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
yes he does, because Jesus came into this world not for one man, one race, nor a nation but he came for evrybody including the rich persons, poors, and sick one. The love of Jesus is mighty and large therefore everybody is part of his love, and everyone is equal in the God`s sight. that is why Jesus believes that lowly people are valuable

Yes, Jesus believes that lowly people are valuable. I remember reading something about how God is glorified when someone lowly becomes great through Him. And because I think, lowly people are not as attached to material possessions compared to those people who are wealthy, and probably because they mostly trust God to provide for them.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable
no doubt Jesus values all even the lowly. its amazing to discover such wonderful words in the scriptures. see how Jesus addresses the people we consider the least in our societies. this study is so comforting to many who look down upon themselves. truly Jesus embraces all.

Jeus is the Greatest Friend
Jesus is the beginning and end of all things. Without his love, protection and guidance we loose everything. It pays to be humble, to help the poor and dying and most important one we need to learn to love care and forgive others even though this is hard sometimes. But ask God intercession and he will help you.

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)
