Once you get back, we can talk about Jesus' "sacrifice".
Jesus didn't say anything to us living right now. Nor was what he said intended for who weren't there to hear and accept his teachings.
So he could've been ok with slavery in general, but among his followers, it would've been an obstacle in their path to acceptance in the kingdom of God that was supposed to come in his time.
