Consider the source...

1 John 3:13-15 Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 
It amazes me sometimes how shocked we are as Christians that we are hated so much by the world.  Christ warned us we would be hated by the world.  The world loves darkness and sin, and we do not - at least others' sin.  What we do need to sit up and take notice of is when hatred exists in the body.  That does not fit - allowing darkness and death to exist where there should be eternal life and light.  We know that, so let us act accordingly.  Let us hate hatred with a passion.
