Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
I beleive that Jesus thinks all people are valuable. I think lowly people held a special place in his heart, the simple people, the uneducated people, the sick, and dying people. They had the desire to seek him out, they believe in him unquestioning. They weren`t concerned about who eles was there to hear his teachings, they weren`t worried about the things that seemed to bother the Pharisees and temple priest. They just loved him for who he was, and he could see into their hearts and knew their true value.

Jesus has great compassion for the lowly people. Jesus, the King of the universe, was born in a lowly stable, not a palace. Jesus so compassionate and having salvation, humbly rode on a donkey. Jesus` teaching is the immense value of persons.

Jesus believes lowly people are valuable.
I believe Jesus knows the child-like heart of the lowly. He sees an impressionable character in everyone. We are like babes in His sight and knows that we have a great need to be fathered and sheltered and taken care of. We are very valuable in the sight of Jesus because we have no one aside from God.

Why are some considered lowly during Jesus` ministry? Is it because there were slaves, the gap between the rich and poor was very wide or the kings and rulers were regarded as gods?

When I ponder this I feel that Jesus is unlike me. I tend to look at the poor and lowly as having caused their own plight to some extent but he does not seem to use any such measure. As I try to apply this to my life I take more pains to listen to everyone, value what they say and learn from them.

Jesus Himself was a lowly person, in the sense He was very humble, caring and loving. In the bible it says that God is no respecter of man ''or woman''. He loves All of us unconditionally. He searched and longed for the soul, the heart that was the purest which pleased His Father and Him immensely. The rich young man when told by Jesus to give up his possessions and give it to the poor and follow Him, and that his treasures would be in heaven could not and did not. Jesus also went on to say that it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle then it was for a rich man to get to heaven. If the camel had to go on its knees to get through the gate, which I believe is a form of humility and submission. So yes, I believe that Jesus valued the lowly for He had a heart like His Father God ''John 3:16'' and like God the lowly have nothing to offer but themselves.

We know that Jesus understands every emotion that we feel here on earth. So I wonder if Jesus ever did want approval or recognition, acceptance from the higher people when He was growing up. I know that He was without sin, but didn`t he even for a mome

I think Jesus believes all people are valuable. He looks at us all in the same way. That is the agape love that the Bible talks about. We need to try to be more Christ like in our daily walk.

Last shall be first
It is about communing with Jesus. I feel Jesus was telling us whoever we are, we are welcome. We should remember, He was first, greatest, and he became last, cast into hell, for us. If we are to follow his examples we should accept everyone as an equal and treat everyone the same because we are all part of the Father. Jesus treats with respect and accepts us inspite of our faults as an example.

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)
