While attending the temple in Twin Falls, I noticed the lovely white dresses the women wore. They were modest and without fancy adornment, yet were lovely and attractive. The men were similarly dressed in clean white shirts and slacks, demonstrating quiet reverence, with the intent of focusing on the message and service they were performing. I could not tell who was rich, poor, well known or little known. No one attempted to draw attention to themselves. No one was acknowledged or pointed out. Everyone performed the same service and did the same work. There was no special seating or chairs set aside to designate someone of importance. We entered the room one by one and listened to the same instruction.
The Lord, at the last supper, performed the sacred ordinance of washing the apostles feet. Quietly, he demonstrated how they were to serve one another, without seeking attention and reward.
John 13: 14-17
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
