Commentary on John 3:19
Judgment is explained: 'And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.' Condemnation isn't arbitrary divine decree but response to deliberate choice. Light came; darkness was preferred. The problem is moral, not intellectual—'their deeds were evil.' People don't reject Christ for lack of evidence but because His light exposes their darkness. Preference for darkness reveals moral resistance to truth.
