Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Jesus came for the poor, sick, lonely and sad. For he has entrusted the kingdom of God on them. They are so valuable that they can make us see inside of ourselves. For it is them who will be beside God when our time us come to face up to him.

Why the lowly often come to Jesus
Sometimes it irks me, or rather it makes me feel a little embarrassed when others comment or even laugh at persons who only turn to Jesus when going thro terrible situations like losing a job and finding it difficult to get another, having a terrible accident, divorce, etc, Sometimes these are the persons that dedicate much of their lives . Why should others joke about it?

Jesus Befriending and Promoting the Lowly
Having read the various passages outlined in the sub-topic, it clearly shows that God loves us all despite our sinful nature, our resources and our attitude. He shows humility, compassion and love at all times even though some believers continue to do the things that are not pleasing in his sight. In John 4:7-9 clearly demonsrates that Jesus accept us for you we are, and that once our mind are made up to serve in spirit and truth, we can rest assure that He will change us and make us the kind of people He wants us to be.

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

Outside culture boundary marks
Jesus acted outside the cultural boundary marks for the community he lived in because he dined and spent time with sinners, beggars, tax collectors and so forth. This is counter culural then and now. It can bring out stronger emotions than people blaspheming or doing something against our religion. Culture is stonger than religion I`ve heard.

seems like we might be so valuable to make sacrifices for, kind of like a parent for their child.

God is passionate about the poor and oppressed

God is passionate about the poor and the oppressed. Scripture mentions caring for the poor over two thousand times. That`s a lot of mentions: as if God is really serious about that. It`s not that God loves poor people more than He loves somebody else; it`s that His attention is drawn to them in a certain way because they are hurting. John Wesley was a famous Methodist preacher and his mother had ten children, God rest her soul. She was once asked, "Which of your children do you love the most?" She said, "The one that is sick until he is well, the one that`s lost until he`s found." If one of my kids is hurt my attention is drawn to them in a particular way, and what I want my other children to do is help the hurting one.

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)
