Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Jesus believes that the lowly are valuable. Example could be drawn from this lesson and I quote: 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. Jesus believes in the little children coming to him because he knows they don`t sin nor do any evil that can deprive them from the seen the grace of God. In according to the book of John - For God so love the world that he sent his only begotten son that who so ever believe in him should not perish but have everlasting live. Jesus love the sinner but hate sin and this why he make himself available to them ''like going into their houses, mingle with them in street etc'' so that they may recognise him as the way to heaven.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
yes, Jesus believes the lowly people to be very valuable. He befriends them and He kept promoting them such as when he had dinner with one of the leaders of the Pharisees to invite the poor, the blind, the cripple and such. He also made people realize that whoever will receive these people will also receive God and said that the kingdom of heaven belongs to these people.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
From all indaction, Jesus indeed believed that lowly people are very valuable. He spent so much of His time on earth with the lowly: Zacharias the tax payer; His disciples were mostly from the low class; sinners and social rejects.He himslef came to be born in a poor environment and He grew up as the son of a carpenter.He once quoted that it was difficult for a rich man to enter heaven. I believe what Jesus means by this show of fellowship with the lowly: Is to show us that we have to he humble to able to hear and recieve the Word of God. He is also telling the world that no matter who or how lowly we are, God considers us important enough to send His son down to earth for our sakes.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Each passage cited shows that Jesus grants very high value to lowly people. How valuable? ''As others have written, yes, Jesus considers the lowly, and all people, valuable enough to die for. However, if I consider just the passages used in the study, and not Jesus` death on the cross, then I am able to consider how the people with whom he spoke may have felt or thought. This is what I observe about how valuable Jesus considers people to be: Jesus is willing to have himself rejected by others if it means accepting the lowly. To the powerful, the wealthy, and the religious leaders, Jesus is content to accept their confusion about him and their scorn of him for his love of the lowly. He would rather do that than have the lowly think that he doesn`t care for them. For Jesus, the love of the unwanted, the outcast, the unaccepted of society-- the lowly-- are worth being considered a fool or unacceptable in the eyes of the majority. So, here`s my question. Do I think the same way about myself? Do you? Do I seriously consider that it is better to be held in contempt by the majority of society and the powerful of society in order to express God`s love to the lowly? In my head I say, Yes, but I know that it is harder in my heart to say Yes every time. For this, I keep asking the Lord to help me and love others like he loves them.

Everyone is Valuable to Jesus. He loves all people. Phillipians 3:6, 7 NASB who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

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)
