Why do people look down on persons if they are poor, humble and simple?

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yes Jesus believes that lowly people are valuable. He spent much time with the poor, sick, lame, the downtrodden, the blind. These people are the ones who we should invite to a reception and we will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay us, but our reward will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yes, Jesus in the beatitudes said blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, though in this case Jesus means the opposite of spiritual pride and makes us realize that the best efforts towards spirituality is nothing before God, Jesus says blessed are those who have nothing but still follow, seek and go to God a typical exaample is the story of the widow who gave her very best to God''her all'' i think there is some sort of meekness and humility of lowly people that Jesus wants us to imbibe, Jesus always refers to the children and lowly people in his teachings

My answer is yes, Jesus believes that lowly people are valuable. Jesus came for the sinners and lowly people to help them, to guide them and to love them, because they need Him. Therefore lowly people have faith and good heart and they have God in their life.

what I meant...
All are in need of a saviour and there is only one - Jesus. From an evangelistic perspective ''ie making disciples'' the needy need Him most so they`re our `bread & butter` ''so to speak'', though we should definitely love everyone. It`s about where we can best serve Jesus` ministry - to those most in need.

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)
