The secrets of the parables: The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. Matthew 13:24

Jesus with the parable of the wheat and the tares tries to make us a representation, a metaphor of what good and evil mean in the world, Jesus explains this parable with a millenarian or eschatological sense in Matthew 13:37-40.
There are two sowers and they each spread their seed; the wheat seed represents, the good ones, those who live righteously, and the tares seed represents sinners.
Jesus teaches us that people are recognized by their fruits (Galatians 5:19-23), good people draw the good from their treasure of goodness, and the bad people from their treasure of evil: "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart", Luke 6:45.
God's providence has established that the Kingdom of God must develop until the retribution for good and bad arrives, the judgment day. Good and evil exist because men have the freedom to make decisions: "And he left them in the power of their own free choice.", Sirach 15:14.
The parable explains that God's wisdom discourages hasty decisions, and only when the wheat and the tares ripen can they be separated:
"Jesus told them another parable: ´The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.´
The owner's servants came to him and said, ´Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?´
´An enemy did this,´ he replied.
The servants asked him, ´Do you want us to go and pull them up?´
´No,´ he answered, ´because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.´", Matthew 13:24-30.
