Jesus tells us, that we do not know when the master will come, but that we should expect him. That we should not let the world distract us, that we should expect him to come RIGHT NOW.
I don't think he said it as a matter of speech. A lot of things happen if you expect him to come RIGHT NOW.
For one thing, you wouldn't do any sin, you wouldn't dare, if he was just around the corner.
But if you think he delays his coming, and start to eat and drink with the drunkards, he will come when you do not expect it.
Of course, we should not only expect him, but realize that without him we can do nothing.
Therefore, when we empty ourselves, and wait for the Lord, and do not trust in our own devices, we have an opportunity to be filled with the things of God.
