| Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable? |
Yes he does and Jesus believes the Lowly people are so valuable because he doesn't value earthly success, prosperity, human skills, or large crowds as we do. Instead, He seeks out the weak and lowly who would best demonstrate His strength and wisdom. As Paul wrote, "...not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty... that no flesh should glory in His presence.” 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Only a few poor shepherds heard the angels' joyous announcement and saw the newborn King. The highly respected men of Jerusalem neither heard nor saw the fulfillment of the long awaited prophesies. Content with their world and committed to their ways, they were oblivious to history's most momentous event! Our sovereign King -- born into time as Man, risen in eternity as Savior -- doesn't do things our way. His more excellent ways confound the world's most noble dreams and heart-felt sympathies. They always have! Contrary to our feel-good presumption about God, His nature and whatever "new thing" we attribute to Him, His narrow way rarely matches our wide gateways to "success By: Ann-Marie Samura Category: Befriending and Promoting the Lowly |

| Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable? |
yes, JESUS believes it. Jesus loves lowly people alot more than the rich, for example- JESUS best friend was Lazarus, he was not a rich or a wealthy person but he was a poor person, same way Jesus told the parable of a widow and how ge valued the coin which the widow gave, etc. By: anonymous Category: Befriending and Promoting the Lowly |
