If you pray for someone that doesn`t believe in the Lord will he help that person see the light of the Lord and save him from evil?

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Absolutely! Yes he believes lowly people are very valuable. Why do you think 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. And said to them, Whoever receives one child like this in My name is receiveing Me; and 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. Thank God for his loving kindness. Amen!

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yes, reading this account of Jesus, He wants us to be like the woman of Samaria. He tells us to be like the children, He wants us to be giving, and to trust in Him to provide for us. Jesus came to the world, and wants us to follow Him in our actions today, He always befriended and cared for the lowly people. We are His people!

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yes. Because he came to help the sinners, and the people who had less or who were thought of being less. I think Jesus used them to show the miracles that he can do for them, and to show that he is here to help if you believe in what he can do. He can bring light when there is darkness in someone's live.

Jesus believes that lowly people are valuable
Jesus believes that lowly people are valuable because he has come to the world for the poor, for the sick, for the `powerless` people. Jesus make use of the lowly people to show the others the glory of God. Only God must receive all adoration.

Jesus deliberately went out of his way to help the people that we as a society reject. Jesus taught us to love everyone not just the wealthy, influential and the beautiful people. Jesus sees everyone as valuable no matter what you do or look like. What a wonderful world we would live if everyone thought that way.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
YES. Since the lowly people do not have many friends to run to for help, they therefore don`t think of any other person who can help them like their parents, in this case God who created them. They give living testmony without doubting God. How do you appreciate light when you don`t understand darkness? When they are set free, they do not feel turning back. People of high status are fond of being proud, arrogant, discriminative, hypocrites. This is not how a christian has to live. Jesus came all irrespective af age or status.

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)
