Why doesnt Jesus show us that whenever we sin we are doing something wrong instead of making us wait when we full of guilt and shame till we realise it

Jesus` preference for the lowly
Yes Jesus gave more preference and considered .the lowly very valuable. He came to save sinners.He definitely gave more preference to them because he thought that they were ones who really needed Him and quite rightly they understood him pretty well.I think the poor and lowly lacked something in their lives and found that void in Jesus, that's why he preferred.Because they had nothing, Christ was the only valuable thing that they could possess and call their own.Jesus knew that they treasured Him and would listen to Him and spread the kingdom of His heavenly Father here below.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable?
I think Jesus believes ALL people are valuable. It stands out to us that he sees, honors, and spends time with those that society would not esteem, perhaps would even disregard, but in truth, I think Jesus sees the worth in every individual, and loves them for who they are. He does not love one more or less than the other because of their possessions or accomplishments or lack thereof--He loves them for the unique child they are, just as a parent loves their own. It seems that Jesus also wanted to reveal the lie and the futility behind our man-made hierarchy of social standing and one-upmanship. All our pride, knowledge and possessions don`t count for as much as one empty heart hungry for Him, and open to receiving Him.

All are equal before Christ. Old, young, rich, poor all the same & have equal weight before Jesus christ.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Jesus value people in a different manner. it is not like how we people look. He value a person only on the basis of obeience to the way His father showed or loved with an everlasting love. those who belive in that way and whoever become His child of God, is valuable even thou that particular person is lovely or not lovely He doesnt matter. How can He count such people less valuable because He had purchased them with a great price, i.e. His Own Begotton Son.

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)
