【國立臺灣大學 109學年度畢業典禮 校長致詞】
Opening Remarks, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
President Dr. Chung-Ming Kuan
.
各位師長同仁,各位畢業同學以及家長們,歡迎大家參加 109 學年度的線上畢業典禮。
去年新冠疫情初起,學校雖仍舉辦實體的畢業典禮,但規模大為縮小,許多師生和家長均以無法參加典禮為憾。今年初臺灣的疫情持續穩定,大家原本期待今年畢業典禮能按照往年方式辦理。不料五月時疫情急轉直下,臺北市疫情警戒程度提高,我們於是推遲畢業典禮,並改以線上方式進行。這也是臺大首次以線上方式舉辦畢業典禮。
隨著疫情發展,線上活動如今已成為生活中的新常態。我們雖逐漸習慣線上教學,線上會議,線上交流,線上購物訂餐等,但連期待了四年的畢業典禮也只能在線上參加,許多同學與家長們難免失望。為此,學務處與許多同學攜手,精心策劃了今天這場特殊的線上畢業典禮,希望能讓大家留下不一樣,但仍美好的記憶。
因為新冠疫情,有些同學會抱怨:這樣大的疫情怎麼就正好被我們在畢業時碰上了?也有些同學則樂觀的想,一旦有了疫苗,疫情得到控制,世界最終還是會回到以前的軌道,大家仍可以過著平穩安定的日子。
然而這個世界從不曾平靜。今年畢業的同學多數出生於1999 年,那正是規模達 7.3 的 921 大地震發生的那一年。時隔四年,亞洲(包括臺灣)爆發了罕見的急性呼吸道感染病 SARS。不過五年之後,源自美國的金融海嘯席捲全球,影響全世界經濟數年之久。2009 更是不平靜的一年,臺灣出現莫拉克風災,造成慘重傷亡;全球則爆發了 H1N1 流感大流行,數十萬人因此死亡。這些當時都曾被認為是數十年(甚至百年)一遇的重大災難。
回顧二十多年來的這些事件(這還僅僅是一部份與臺灣相關的事件),我們就會發現:巨大的天災人禍,過去曾頻繁出現,未來應該也不會少見。
當然,新冠疫情的影響範圍遠超過 SARS 與 H1N1 流感,對世界的衝擊則更大於金融海嘯。近代能與這次疫情相比的是一百年前 (1918-1920) 的全球流感大流行;據後來估計,當時全世界人口三分之一染疫,約有五千萬人因此不幸喪生。
那次流感爆發時正值第一次世界大戰末期,對當時的德軍主力造成嚴重打擊。而後疫情時代,戰敗的德國被列強宰割,奧匈帝國及奧圖曼帝國亦隨之瓦解,徹底改變了舊的國際秩序,也為後來的世局(從歐陸,到中東和亞洲)埋下許多不安定的種子。
這次新冠疫情並未伴隨著世界大戰,但出現在國際強權針鋒相對,世界產業供應鏈重整的關鍵時刻;後疫情時代因此充滿不確定性。而重組後的國際政經秩序,我不知道那會是一個「美好或不美好的新世界」*,但它就是大家必須面對的世界。那裡將充滿挑戰和機會,如何善用所學回應挑戰,如何從機會中脫穎而出,都是大家新的功課。這些功課沒有標準答案,你們必須自己解答,自己審閱答案。
我也希望利用這個機會提醒同學們,對於正在醫療前線奮戰的眾多醫護人員,其中包括了許多學校師長與大家的學長姐們,我們一定要心存感念。當疫情大浪襲來時,他們勇往直前,力挽狂瀾,不僅保護病人,也捍衛著臺灣社會。他們是真正的英雄。只要大家共同努力,疫情終會過去,我們一定會贏得抗疫的最後勝利。
最後,我謹代表所有老師和行政主管,向所有畢業同學們表達最深切的祝福,也恭喜辛苦多年的家長們。敬祝大家未來一切順利,身體健康
最後我還想講幾句話。我記得我看過一篇外國人寫的文章,他說他在臺灣多年,注意到臺灣有個很奇怪的習慣,朋友分手時都常常會說:「要小心哦」。我看到這篇文章的時候,也突然心有所感;多年來我媽媽每次看到我出門時會跟我講這句話,而後來我跟自己的小孩,也會講這樣的話。所以在畢業典禮這個時刻,我敬祝大家未來一切順利,身體健康,大家都要小心哦!

==============================
.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began last year, NTU was still able to hold graduation ceremonies in person but on a much smaller scale and with the absence of many faculty members, students, and parents. Earlier this year, we were hoping to gather for a traditional commencement. But the sudden outbreak in May had forced Taipei City to raise its epidemic alert level. So we postponed the Commencement and made the decision to hold the ceremony virtually. This is the first virtual Commencement in NTU history.
To our faculty, new graduates, and parents, welcome to the National Taiwan University’s Commencement celebration for the Class of 2021.
As the pandemic unfolds, digital is the new normal. While we gradually adapt to online learning, virtual meetings, social media, online shopping, and food delivery, it is inescapably disappointing for many students and parents to have to celebrate the achievements of our graduates this way after anticipating this event for four years. And because of this, the Office of Student Affairs has teamed up with the graduates to ensure that this unique virtual Commencement is a moment that everyone will remember fondly in the future.
Some of you may ask, "why does this happen just when we are graduation?" And some of you may think optimistically that once the vaccines are available and the pandemic is contained, the world will be back to normal, and that we will all live peacefully.
But the world has never been peaceful. Most of the graduates this year were born in 1999, when the magnitude 7.3 earthquake happened on September 21. Four years after, SARS broke out in Asia, including Taiwan. Within another 5 years, the financial crisis, originated in the United States, affected global economies for years. In 2009, Typhoon Morakot landed and caused severe casualties in Taiwan; the H1N1 flu pandemic took hundreds of thousands of lives. These disasters were, at the time, seen as rare catastrophes that would only take place once every few decades, or even centuries.
Looking back to the past 20 years, we’d notice that, even just in Taiwan, catastrophes have never been in short supply. And they will probably never be in the future either.
Of course, the effect of COVID is far beyond SARS and H1N1, and its impact is greater than the financial crises. What came close was the Spanish flu that took place a century ago (1918-1920), when, according to estimation, one-third of the global population was infected and about 50 million people died.
The influenza pandemic outbreak took place at the end of WWI and hit the German military especially hard. And after the pandemic, Germany was forced to cede its territories to the great powers. What followed was the fall of the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires. The series of events reset the international order and formed the settings for many conflicts in the years to come.
While COVID did not break out during a world war, it came at a critical time when great powers bicker and the global supply chains face a reform. The post-pandemic ear is therefore full of uncertainty. I don’t know whether it’d be a "Brave New World"* once the international political and economic orders are reshuffled. But it will be a world we have to live in. There will be many challenges and opportunities, and it will be our new task to utilize what we have learned to tackle challenges and grasp opportunities. Unlike any standardize
d test, you will have to answer and grade the answers yourselves.
I also want to use this opportunity to remind the graduates, that we must have appreciation and gratitude for the healthcare workers who are on the frontlines fighting. Many of them are our faculty members and alums. When the waves of the pandemic hit, they stood up to save lives and protect Taiwan’s society. They are true heroes. As long as we work together, we will weather the crisis and win this battle.
Finally, on behalf of the faculty and management, I send you our deepest best wishes. And congratulations to the parents and families who have supported the graduates for years. I wish you success and good health.
One final thing, I remember reading an article by a foreign writer who said he had lived in Taiwan for years and had noticed that Taiwanese people have a strange habit of saying "be careful" when they part ways. When I read the article, this resonates with me from the heart. For years, my mother would say the same thing whenever I am leaving the house. Now I say the same thing to my children, too. So at this Commencement ceremony, I wish everyone great success in the future, good health, and "be careful."

Jesus Bequeathed His Estate to You
“For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh: how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it. For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.” (Hebrews 9:13-17 WEB)
Jesus did not die just to purchase our pardon from transgressions, but He also gave us everything good that belongs to Him.
The New Covenant of Grace is a will. In it, we are the heirs of a vast inheritance.
What Jesus did at the cross is essentially Him saying, “I am taking the penalty of everything bad you did, and in their place, everything good that I have, I bequeath to you.”
That is crazy! The first question would be, “Why would you do that, Jesus? I was not even nice to You—in fact, I sinned constantly against You like an enemy.”
We must realize that Jesus was sent by Abba God to do this. Jesus’ actions shows us the Father’s will.
Abba God did not want us to be separated from Him, so Jesus became “The Way” that leads back to Him.
There is no proper reason to pardon a vile criminal who behaves like your enemy, and bequeath him your entire inheritance, except for the reason of love.
It is only because God loves us that He designed this whole salvation plan, so that we would be spared from punishment and instead enjoy the abundance of His grace.
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God. He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love. By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.” (1 John 4:7-12 WEB)
God has to punish sin, but love is who He is. One is a responsibility, the other is a heart’s desire.
When we see how much God loves us, we will not want to continue in hatred or bitterness. Instead, we will look up to Him and want to walk in the same kind of love as Him. God’s love will then have its perfect work completed in us.
This is like a blob of red paint being dropped into a glass of water and being fully stirred until the whole mixture is red. If you hear about His love and do not receive it with a receptive heart, it is like allowing the blob of paint to sink to the bottom of the glass without being mixed into the water.
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”” (John 13:34-35 WEB)
Won’t you allow God’s love to have its intended effect in your heart? Jesus’ disciples are to be known by their love for one another. Christians are supposed to be the most loving people in this world, so let your good works done in love shine for God’s glory!
Starting tomorrow, I will be embarking on a new Patreon Bible Study series focused on Romans. If you want to receive it, join our community as a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon. Looking forward to growing in the knowledge and revelation of God’s word with you: http://Patreon.com/miltongohblog

Was Judas Saved?
Occasionally, I receive this question. There’s something about this man, Judas Iscariot, that is interesting and shrouded in mystery.
“He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me. The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.” Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”” (Matthew 26:23-25 WEB)
Jesus clearly pronounced woe upon Judas the betrayer. His eternal fate will be so terrible that it would be better for Judas if he was not born.
Why is his fate so terrible, and seemingly much worse than other sinners?
“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” (John 17:12 WEB)
Judas is only apostle who is lost and not saved, among the twelve original apostles. Mattias took his place afterwards.
Jesus could not have said it any clearer. Judas Iscariot is lost and not saved.
But the world has probably not seen the last of Judas. In the Bible, there is only one other person who is called “the son of destruction”.
“Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 WEB)
In my opinion, it would be foolish to quickly assume that Paul was referring to a different person, when the first one to utter the title “son of destruction”, was Jesus Himself. Paul was likely alluding to Jesus’ words, and this allows us to draw the connection between “the man of sin” and Judas Iscariot.
This person is likely the same one written about in the Book of Revelation: “the beast who sustained the fatal wound”, “the beast who rises out from the abyss”, and “the beast who was, who is not, and who will be present”.
In my study of the Bible, I believe that Judas will be coming back from the dead, in time for the Tribulation. He did not just betray Jesus for forty pieces of silver. He made a deal with the devil to inherit the whole world. Just as the devil possessed him back then, so will he use him as a host again. Judas’ end of the bargain was to agree to become…the Antichrist.
“I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”” (Genesis 3:15 WEB)
In the first prophecy of the Bible, we learn that there will be hostility between the serpent’s offspring and the woman’s offspring. This is not talking about hostility between unbelievers and believers in general.
What people don’t know is that the word “offspring” is “zaraka” in the original Hebrew, and it is in the masculine and singular tense. This means that God was specifically referring to one male offspring each.
We know that the woman’s offspring is Jesus Christ. The serpent’s offspring will be the Antichrist. There will be an epic clash between Jesus and His arch-nemesis—the one whose feet He washed on the night that He was betrayed by him.
We know who wins in the end. Give praise to our undefeated Lord Jesus Christ—the King of kings and Lord of lords who reigns forevermore!
I wrote much more in detail about this in my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. This identity of the Antichrist just one of the topics covered within, but mainly, the book teaches about eternal rewards, how to maximize them, and how to live a worthy life by fulfilling your God-given calling. It will be an eye-opening read: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever
