Aslan's sacrifice in LWW confers the much more immediately tangible benefit of everybody not dying in the first place by virtue of causing the Witch to be defeated.

Huh! I had completely the opposite reading -- I thought his sacrifice saved Edmund at the near-certain cost of everyone else dying and the white witch ruling Narnia for the rest of eternity, which they escaped by (a) getting lucky that a 14-year-old boy was as good a general as a 1000s of year old god (b) Aslan getting resurrected so he could save everyone at the castle and the battle like he should have done in first place, by way of the secret Deeper Magic which he knew about but kept secret to let everyone think they were going to die.

Did I miss something?
