What does the colt represent in the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

The colt represents both Jesus and the vessels of God's mercy, signifying His humility and their bondage before salvation.

In the sermon, the colt serves as a dual symbol. It is a representation of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is depicted as humble and lowly, fulfilling the prophecy by entering Jerusalem on a colt that no man had sat upon. Additionally, the colt symbolizes God's people, depicted as bound and in need of rescue. Just as the colt was tied and needed to be loosed, God's people are bound in sin until He calls them out of their captivity. This imagery emphasizes the gracious act of God in delivering His people through Christ, the righteous servant, who humbles Himself to fulfill God's plan of salvation.
