First Century Context and History

This is the best article i have ever read on that subject. I had searched for answers to some perplexing questions which i have just got here. Thumbs up!! By the way had you asked me earlier i would have said Jesus spoke hebrew. I didn`t know also of the modernity of the 1st century. They did most things like we do today. Thanks again.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?

First to Jesus everyone belongs to God. What Jesus endeavoured to show, according to me is that though the society segments us in different aspects after all we are all the same. And this augments the fact that Jesus really believed that the people we brand lowly are actually very valuable. We derive also a very important that judgement only belongs to God. We should not judge by their class, we never know what lies in them and neither do we how we can significantly change there lifes. Jesus knew this to well. Image a morale-booster he was to the tax gatherers and sinners, for them to know after all someone accepts them. What a lesson was it for the disciples to learn that the innocence is heavenly. The lesson of being a servant first tells all. I think the cliche you have to serve before you can lead stems from this. I would believe the more lowly you get sometimes the better for your learning. You simply cant learn when you are the top. The poor woman who so little Jesus says she give the biggest. Why is that?? the lowly are more valuable because they give with their hearts and not in a showcase tell-it-to-all of the society`s top. What a relieve was it for the Samaritan woman to learn she can be appreciated even by a Jew. I tend to think there existed the kind of animosity we see between the Arab world and Israel.Imagine a people from two nations shaking hands freely. What a scenario? And that what exactly Jesus wanted to show. I wish we could genuinely draw lessons from His exploits today.
