Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
They are as valuable as you are I. for the meek shall inherit the earth... And the poor you shall have with you all ways. These are profound words spoken by the lord and are forever will be with us as all His saying. He also said those that are first shall be last and those that are last shall be first. How profound is that for a mind boggler. Makes me want to humble down and get shakeyfied. Beck

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
yes the lowly people are valuable to Jesus. For in Matthew 5:3 He says Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus tells us that if we bless the poor, we shall be blessed because we know that they are unable to repay us.

Yes. To Jesus lowly people are more valuable than the kings of the earth. He would rather sit and dine with prostitutes and theives than to have a meeting with Heriod who was king.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Jesus certainly believes that the lowly people are valuable. At worst, they are as valuable as anybody else. At best, they are even more valuable because of their lowliness, and will thus be among the first to enter the Kingdom of Heaven: as it says in Matthew 20:16, "???the last shall be first and the first shall be last???" and Matthew 23:12, "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Furthermore, they help good people become better. After all, anybody can do nice things for those who can easily pay them back, but it`s harder - and better - for them to do nice things for those who can`t possibly pay them back ''thus, they are able to do good for the sake of doing good, without any thought of reward''.

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)
