lowly people

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yes. Jesus handpicked imperfect people to work with and carry out his mission. We are all his children wiz many flaws. If only we give ourselves to him and ask him to make us whole, he is so ready and waiting to see us molded by his hands in to the wonderful souls we can be.

When Jesus said for the kingdom belongs to sucha as these(children) in the book of Matthew, did he mean that all children who dont make it to their adulthood will all go to heaven?

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable n how?
Yes and no. Yes coz as the widow who gave everything with all her heart she got despite her situation. This is an image of what GOD expect from us to have a simple heart not a selfish one. The rich person gives large amount of money but is that all he`s got no he didnt give up all his posessions contrary to the widow. And this is an image of someone who will just give 50% of his life to Jesus no 100% commitment as its hard for him to leave his fortune behind. We could wonder did he give it with all his heart or because he had to or just to show others hes got more than them. No, coz this is not about rich or poor this is about how commited you are to God if you gave up everythging in your life that you are attached to even family and friends and follow Jesus to the end. We cant just say ok I`ll come with today then tomorrow I wont as M busy with this no it has to be your new life. Following Him isnt just a temporary event it is permanent and you can do so only if you are ready to sacrifice everything so you can follow Jesus, Amen

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Through what I know, Jesus believes that eeveryone is valuable no matter what status that one might have in the world. the kind of valuability that is expressed through Jesus for many of us is that we are needed. The lowly people are the ones that Jesus speaks of as being very valuable. In God`s plans, everyone is included and no one is invaluable.

human beings are precious in God`s eyes and he wants no one to perish but come to konw him through Jesus Christ.God is not looking at people according to their possession or their social status or whatever, He is looking at the heart.

All people are valuable to Jesus. Poor, rich, old or young, we are all his children and we are more valuable to him than diamonds and gold. Remember he died for us!!!

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)
