According to reformed theology, the Bible is about the Glory of God.
Jesus is God.
Thus, the Bible is about Jesus.
More concretely, some would go so far as to state that the Elect is the father's gift to the Son (I'm not sure if this can be scripturally verified). That would be further reason for the Bible focusing on Christ.
Without Jesus, these would be no forgiving of sins. Without the forgiving sins, the Bible would be a very different book.

Why is Jesus at the center of everything? If you look through the Bible we know that Jesus is at the center of everything.
Technically, he's not. God is at the center of everything.
As Christians we believe in the Trinity, and the Trinity has three "parts"*: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus is one of these parts, but it would be incomplete to say that Jesus is at the center of everything.
Furthermore, your question referred to The Bible and did not qualify the question by saying The New Testament. Surely you'd agree that most of the Old Testament speaks about The Father, and the New Testament, after Pentacost, speaks about The Holy Spirit.
*Disclaimer: I realize that the word "parts" is an insufficient word to describe the Trinity.

Throughout our life what do we look for? The purpose of life don't we? The questions every human ponders in life is:
1) How did we get here? Who made all of this stuff we see? (The Truth)
2) What is our purpose in life? What should we do? (The Way)
3) How can we stay alive and be healthy? How can we/should we live? (The Life)
Don't you know the very question you ask is one Jesus answered over 500 years ago?
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
The beginning of everything we know starts at the origin. For example, before you were conceived you were 0, or in a mathematical sense at the origin (since the origin is located at (0,0)). Notice that the center is the origin where everything began. Thus, Jesus is undoubtedly the center of life because he is simultaneously the meaning of life in being that he is the origin of life (as far as we know today).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:1-5 ESV)
Jesus is the center of everything because He is the Logos (ie Reason/Word) of God and everything God created was through Him (ie Reason/Word) and through His incarnation He provides the "touchpoint" between the created and the uncreated.
