What does Mephibosheth represent in the story?

Answered in 1 source

Mephibosheth represents sinners who are spiritually disabled and in need of God's grace and restoration.

Mephibosheth serves as a profound representation of all sinners who, like him, are spiritually lame and unable to come to God on their own. His lameness symbolizes the total depravity of human nature – a condition that renders us incapable of seeking God without divine intervention. The act of David fetching Mephibosheth showcases God's grace that actively seeks and redeems those who are undeserving. This picture of restoration for Mephibosheth illustrates the grace that God extends to all who recognize their shame and need for a Savior.
