Jesus thinks lowly people are valuable; they are His blessings.  As it says in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:5) "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth".

The lowly are not the proud sinners.  Yes ok, Jesus pursues such people, He pursues every precious human being.  Jesus, the Son of God came among us 2,000 years ago, humbly reaching out with qualities of a lowly one.  His incarnation was to be a servant, more than to be the God He is.  Surely, those who want to be on top at all costs, don't want to know of being servants, neither of God nor of anybody else.  But Jesus is the model in showing us that being lowly is one of the greatest attributes that embodies love.  Many may reject this as being impractical in their lives.  It's a decision, a state of mind not only a state of being.  Jesus values THIS KIND of being lowly.
