Different Conversions

Writings by J. G. Bellett
Look at Saul. He was full of religious zeal-the zeal of an inquisitor. Look at Cornelius. He was full of religious devotion-gentle, benevolent, disposed (instead of persecuting others) to judge that all others were better than himself.
Here were different materials, and the mode of operation on them was different. The work was carried on in Saul's soul with characteristic force-that in Cornelius's with like gentleness and grace. But both of them equally needed Jesus. There was no life in either or for either, but through Jesus.
