Jesus Declined Civilian Coup ; A Lesson to Political Class

John 6 : 12-15 ; When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciple, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world. ” Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. End of quote.

This verses depicts outlawing of coups by Jesus, whilst, at same breath, basic physiological needs is what matters the most to citizens at electing their political leaders.
