Why do we want to imitate Jehovah’s rocklike qualities? (See also the box “A Goal for Young Brothers.”)We have noted how Jehovah proves to be like a rock. Now consider how we can imitate his rocklike qualities. The better we do so, the better equipped we will be to build up the congregation. For example, Jesus gave Simon the name Cephas (translated “Peter”), which means “A Piece of Rock.” (John 1:42) This indicated that he would become a source of comfort and stability in the congregation. Congregation elders are described as “the shadow of a massive crag.” That illustrates how they protect those in the congregation. (Isa. 32:2) Of course, the congregation benefits when all—brothers and sisters—imitate Jehovah’s rocklike qualities.—Eph. 5:1

Imitating Jehovah's rocklike qualities helps us support and strengthen our congregation. Just as Peter became a source of stability, we can also be a source of comfort and protection for our brothers and sisters. When we reflect these qualities, as encouraged in Ephesians 5:1, we build up the congregation and foster a nurturing environment for all.
