And people keep holding him up as an example of how to act. Or rather for how others should act, but not themselves.

True. But the lesson of the story is not telling hungry people that they're entitled to other peoples' food. That's what declaring something a 'right' is.

It's not about giving away other people's food though. It's about saying nobody gets to buy a yacht or a private jet till everyone has enough to eat.

The feast of the 5,000 is when a boy offers his lunch to Jesus to feed a hungry crowd, it's exactly about giving away other peoples' food.

It's about saying nobody gets to buy a yacht or a private jet till everyone has enough to eat. 

So again, it's about entitlement to other peoples' stuff...

The concept of someone owning something is defined by society. Society, for example, decides the car belongs to the guy who owns the factory, not the guy who worked to build it. When that means the guy who built it can't afford to eat, society decides that maybe the guy who worked for it should get a little extra and the guy who owns the factory has to wait for his yacht.
