Each of us has a vulnerability like Edmund's that Satan is eager to exploit. It may be something addictive like drugs or alcohol, or it may be something seemingly harmless and perhaps even good like food, friendship, or work.

About This Quote

Edmund's vulnerability was his addiction to opium. It led him to take part in the terrible sin of murder, and to kill his friend. This certainly did not make him proud of himself, but it did show that he had a vulnerability like all of us. All of us are vulnerable at times, and Satan is the master at exploiting that weakness.
