Our substitute, our sovereign, our sanctifier crushed Satan's head, crushed Satan at the cross. He did it by sharing in flesh and blood. He did it through death. Through death, he slew death. Through death, he freed those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. Satan holds people in deep guilt over their sin and produces in people the fear of death.
