Heaven?

Matthew 13:24-25 - And he put another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a man who sows his seed. But while he slept, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and left."

Well, so far, not looking to much like heaven. In fact, it's a good description of human brokenness. We are envious and jealous of others. So much so that sometimes we will actively try to harm others. I cannot think of a time when I actively did something like this. My harm comes from passivity - from not doing the thing I should or could do for others.

Of course, we must also remember that the phrase "kingdom of heaven" can refer to God. So, perhaps the God figure has not shown up in the parable as yet. More will be revealed.

Also, I wonder about the word "compare" in this context. Is it compare favorably or unfavorably? According to BibleWorks it has the sense of liken - may be likened to - so, it will be interesting to see where this likeness shows up.
