We understand that God's grace frees us from bondage through the work of Christ, who looses us from our sins and brings us to salvation.
In the sermon, the colt is used as an illustration of lost sinners bound by sin and the law. Romans 6 explains that we were once slaves to sin but have been made free in Christ. The colt could not loose itself, mirroring how humanity cannot free itself from sin's bondage. Only through Christ's sacrificial death are we released. In Hebrews 2:14-15, we learn that Jesus took on flesh to defeat the power of death, thus liberating those who through fear of death were subject to bondage. This reveals the profound nature of God’s grace in freeing His chosen ones.
