Commentary on John 3:20
'For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.' This explains why people reject Christ despite sufficient evidence. Evil deeds cause hatred of light because light exposes. Coming to Christ means exposure of sin—a prospect evil-doers flee. The verb 'reproved' (elencho) means to bring to light, to expose, to convict. Light is threatening to those with something to hide.
