Jacob 5:
"Spare it a little longer." The wise advice from the servant eventually leads to the master putting forth a final effort to reclaim the vineyard. He requests that more help be called in, "that we may labor diligently with our might in the vineyard, that we may prepare the way." It is the same today - we are called to labor in the vineyard to prepare the way. Had the master destroyed the corrupted trees there would be no chance to repair them.
Had Adam and Eve not been spared "a little longer" there would be no chance at redemption. And if we do not give people "a little longer" to change, then we are no better than the master.
I don't know if I have ever thought about this segment in this way before - but it really hits me that there is a window for redemption, and we must take advantage of the opportunity. We should also give others the opportunity, and help them along the way. The other interesting thing is that the master had thought he had done all he could, when in reality there was another way to help that he only discovered later on.
