Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yeah, Jesus believes lowly people are valuable.Considering all the passages qouted here, Jesus shows how He values people who have sincere humility and He has found true faith from these believers. They are not hypocrites who pretend they have given much for jesus but actually they haven`t. Jesus values the humble by looking through their hearts and motives of their actions. God is indeed merciful to people who sinned and have asked God`s grace and forgiveness faithfully.

FROM THE BEGINNING OF HIS MINISTRY JUST LOOK AT WHO HE CHOSE TO BE HIS DISCIPLES. NONE WERE CONSIDERED PROMINENT IN THAT DAYS SOCIETY. HE TOUCHED THE UNTOUCHABLE AND SHOWED LOVE TO THE UNLOVEABLE. JESUS SHOWED THAT EVERYONE IS VALUABLE. HOW VALUABLE? HE ANSWERED THAT ON THE CROSS

value of the poor and lowly
Jesus loved the poor and lowly. He had compassion for them. He knows that they have no one else to turn to but God. The lowly and poor are valuable to to others. They are here to teach us to be humble. Humility is one of the characteristics that we all need to get to heaven.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yes Jesus truly believes lowly people are valuable, very valuable. He does not differentiate between the rich and the poor. To him all are equal. He prefers to be with the meek and lowly because they truly understand him and they him. Like he said when you invite people to your house for lunch or dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment come to you. But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous. I surely agree with this.

Yes, Jesus christ does value lowly people more than the mountains, more than the strong winds on this universe, he is here only to uplift the lowly people, the sick, the downtrodden, the blind, the lame, as jesus as said it the these people who need a doctor more than the rich people, again our god is equally to the all the righteous people, be it rich or poor, our god is a just god.

Now all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him. And both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." ( Luke 15:1-2)

Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ( Matthew 19:13-14)

He called the twelve and said to them, "If any one wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." And taking a child , He stood him in the midst of them; and taking him in His arms, He said to them, "Whoever receives one child like this in My name is receiving Me; and whoever receives Me is not receiving Me, but Him who sent Me." ( Mark 9:35-37)

And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the multitude were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on." ( Mark 12:41-44)

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman therefore said to Him, ‘How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) ( John 4:7-9)

And it came about when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him closely…And he went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment come to you. But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." ( Luke :-1-:1)
