What does Matthew 13:43 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father--as if they had been under a cloud during the present association with ungodly pretenders to their character, and claimants of their privileges, and obstructors of their course. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear--(See Mr 4:9). Fifth and Sixth Parables or Third Pair: The Hidden Treasure and The Pearl of Great Price (Mt 13:44-46). The subject of this last pair, as of the two former, is the same, but also under a slight diversity of aspect: namely-- The Priceless Value of the Blessings of the Kingdom. And while the one parable represents the Kingdom as "found without seeking," the other holds forth the Kingdom as "sought and found." The Hidden Treasure (Mt 13:44).
