Because "Jesus" is a verb, not a noun
I agree that the Bible is to be read constantly and studied and searched thoroughly. If nothing is done to carry out and share what we learn, let me tell you this: you can summarize the Bible in "love." Now go and practice it.
How can I know if I, or in this case you, can really summarize it in "love". If I haven't read it? Should I take your word about this? Should anybody take someone else word about such an authoritative statement? Did God go through all the issues and difficulties to preserve His word just for a statement to be given? If that is the case, He could have "thundered" and pronounced it Himself more eloquently than anybody else... Maybe He left the 66 books as the evidence for us to make our minds...
You can't--shouldn't--take my word from it. Like I said, "study and thoroughly search it." Make up your own mind. This post is for those that seek in the Bible excuses to judge others and justify themselves.
