Why is bond immunization necessary?

I guess i need to brush up on my duration understanding, but how is it that duration (as the measurement of price sensitivity to interest rates) equals or roughly equals duration (as a weighted average time of future cash flows).
I understand how time relates / effects duration but I just don’t understand how the two measurements (which measure two different things) are essentially equal. Anyone?
