The parables of the building and the king are a special tradition of Luke. The meaning of both parables is that one must follow Christ to the end, it is wrong to stop and say, No, I will not go any further.
They also teach consciousness, conscious reception of Christ. The parable of the salt teaches us to keep what is characteristic and important for the faithful, for Christians.
To the Apostle Philip:
