Can "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"(Mat 6, 26) be another example of Jesus´valuing the lowly?

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?

Jesus believes (and teaches us to believe) that lowly people are VERY valuable. They show the "rich", "strong" and "great" how to rely on God´s mercy without much temptation to rely on the false pride of one´s own powers. No matter how rich, strong or great you are, without God´s mercy you are nothing.

Define "Compassion"?

Compassion is the feeling which makes you merciful even to those who do not technically deserve it. It helps (not always) when you imagine yourself in the situation of your neighbour (including your enemy). It seems to turn mere justice into righteousness. Jesus teaches us how to generate and use this feeling towards ourselves and others. Once you manage to feel real compassion, you find the reason to be merciful against all expectations, which brings a great relief to the people concerned and to yourself.
