The story of the coming King, the Messiah, had been told for so long. Who would have thought that lowly shepherds watching their flocks during the night would be the ones the angels proclaimed the magnificent news to? In the quiet, stillness of night, while the world slept, came the miraculous birth of the promised Savior in a humble cattle stall. There was no fanfare or sounding of trumpets to herald the news of His birth, just a manger filled with hay. A dramatic telling of the wonder of that night, "While the World Slept," is an elegant reminder of why we celebrate Christmas. 25 minutes.
