In today's readings, all the major figures are anticipating but never receiving. Rewards and responsibilities are impending; they are right around the corner. It could be argued that these are worrisome--even threatening--scenarios. Look sharp! The owner of the house may come home early and catch you servants unawares. But these lessons are much bigger than that. What is being asked is that you live your life consistently, honorably and virtuously. Virtue will get you rewarded but it is also the right way to live regardless.
Christ is saying "You know your responsibilities. Meet them whether I am here or not."
