Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 3:19

"And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil." — John 3:19 (ASV)

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

The dislike of Christ is caused by a love of sin. If people did not hug their sins, they would embrace the Savior.
