Jesus believes that all people are valuable. But He DOES look out for the lowly and down trodden. It's not about giving because you have extra to give, it's about giving what you have, just because it's the right thing to do... Wether it's money, food and shelter and especially love.. Thats the main thing right there.
Jesus wants us to love each other and forgive each other. We cannot be forgiven ourselves if we do not forgive.
