The long version: A console MC "server" isn't really a server, in the PC sense; it's a shared game, which really exists only on the host's XBox. So it has to be running and online for you to be able to join it.
No, he can't just send you a copy of his saved game. The game is saved on his Xbox (or his section of the cloud or a USB attached to his Xbox) and not to a "server" iin the same sense as the term is used on the PC. In addition, it is also keyed to his gamertag... meaning that his is the only Xbox profile that can launch that game (without hacking and modding the file - which goes against Microsoft's Terms of Use for Xbox Live... and discussing that any further would go against the Terms of Use for this website).
If he wants to play his world at your place on your Xbox, he can bring it there on USB or access his cloud storage and download his profile to your Xbox, launch it and play it with you. He should then 1) make sure you have the same update version of Minecraft as he does; 2) be sure to have a backup of his gamesave stored safely on another device (USB) 3) be sure to properly transport and retrieve his profile to ensure that he can continue to access his profile from his own Xbox and also to keep his profile information secure (there are instructions for doing this on the Xbox Live website); 4) be sure to retrieve the latest saved version of his gamesave file from your Xbox before he goes.
To sum up what was said above and to make a long story short... effectively, your friend's Xbox Profile must be active either online (on a different console) or directly on specifically your console and that profile needs to have direct access to the specific game file in question in order for you to join 'his' world.
